Customers in Frisco have learned that timing is critical when visiting a local bakery cart operated by Henson. The business, known as Little Bit Bakery, has attracted a dedicated group of patrons who frequently arrive at dawn to secure their purchases before inventory is depleted.
Henson began baking during the pandemic, initially creating custom cakes from her home. Last September, she transitioned to a mobile model by placing a bakery cart on her front porch. This shift has allowed her to serve the neighborhood directly, creating a steady stream of repeat customers.
The menu rotates weekly but typically features fresh sourdough loaves, English muffins, cinnamon rolls, and oatmeal cream pies. On a standard Saturday, Henson produces approximately 85 loaves of sourdough and nearly 100 English muffins, along with other assorted baked goods. To manage this volume, she recently invested in a dedicated bread oven, noting that the equipment was essential for meeting current demand.
Patrons often arrive shortly after 6 a.m. to avoid disappointment. Delilah Navarette, a first-time visitor, admitted she was unaware of how early she needed to arrive. "We were way down there," Navarette said. "We had no idea how early we had to get here. We were worried we might not get anything."
Longtime customer Dana Eagle, who visited on a recent Saturday, described the early wake-up as worthwhile. "She is amazing. I love everything about what she's doing," Eagle said. "Her goodies — I don't know what she does and what she puts in them, but they are phenomenal. And they're well worth the wait. We got here a little after six o'clock this morning."
Beyond the food, many customers feel a personal connection to the owner. Navarette described the regulars as a supportive community. "I think we're kind of all her aunties -- wishing her the best and supporting her," she said.
